In the present paper we extend our MM model based
on the deformed Woods-Saxon potential, which up to now was applied mainly
to even-even nuclei [1]}, to odd-\(A\)  and odd-odd SH systems.
We study a wide range of isotopes which, perhaps, may be of some use for
astrophysical purposes. The fission barriers are calculated using the
adiabatic assumption, i.e. they are the smallest possible.
Since the model has been quite reasonable, in particular in reproducing
first [1]} and second [3]} fission barriers in actinides,
as well as super- [4]} and hyper-deformed [5]}, [6]} minima, we prefer to keep its
parameters unchanged. The shell and pairing correction for an odd nucleon
system is done by blocking the lowest-lying quasiparticle states.
The modification of the macroscopic energy by including the average
pairing energy contribution which we introduced for nuclear masses
in [7]} is irrelevant for fission barriers.
